Idiocracy, mindless,whatever...

I recently posted about the Christian Church, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox, which New York City is refusing to allow to be rebuilt. I named the leadership of that City the Idiocracy. There is no such word I guess, but there should be. My spell checker goes nuts every time I type it. I think we all know that those in charge on Manhattan Island today have somehow let the stuff that is supposed to be between their ears leak out: at least that appears to be what has happened.

This is not news, this kind of thing happened before. (There must be something wrong with the water on the Island). Gates of Vienna told me about it this morning:

Past as Prologue, 55 years ago? — Elegant statue of Muhammad “quietly” removed from the roof of the Appellate Division Courthouse on Madison Square, New York City in 1955, when seven feckless appellate judges, “encouraged” by the US State Department, needlessly submitted to Islamic supremacist dictates regarding “Tawsir,” or statuary.

Mindless, craven cultural relativism — sadly pervasive in 2010 — has led NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg to capitulate to Islamic supremacism and support the odious Ground Zero mosque projectof the cultural jihadist Imam Faisal Rauf, and his coterie. The rather witless Bloomberg, of course, cynically recasts his moral and intellectual cretinism as championing bedrock American values, notably freedom of religion. However, the ultimately self-destructive Islamic correctness we are witnessing vis a vis the Ground Zero mosque, may be an endemic phenomenon amongst Manhattan elites, dating back to at least 1955.

Ecclesiastes says: (Eccl 1:9) "...and there is no new thing under the Sun." And Edmund Burke said, "those who do not know history are destined to repeat it." So, as much as I hate to see it happening the Bible and Burke both confirm we are going to watch a Mosque be built where there should be a very large, prominent, Christian Cathedral. I think we have all gone nuts!
